Porcelina of the Vast Oceans (Live in Cleveland, 7/3/96)

Lyrics

[Audience Applause] [PART I: Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans] [Instrumental Intro] [Verse] As far as you take me, that's where I believe The realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves On a distant shoreline she waves her arms to me As all the thought police are closing in for sleep The dilly dally of my bright-lit stay The steam of my misfortunes has given me the power to be afraid [Pre-Chorus] And in my mind I'm everyone And in my mind [Chorus] Without a care in this whole world Without a care in this whole world Without a care in this life It's what you take that makes it right [Refrain] Porcelina of the oceans blue Porcelina, Porcelina [PART II: Beautiful] [Chorus] Beautiful, you're beautiful As beautiful as the sun Wonderful, you're wonderful As wonderful as they come [Verse] And I can't help but feel attached To the feelings I can't even match With my face pressed up to the glass Wanting you [PART III: Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans] [Verse] In the slipstream of thoughtless thoughts The light of all that's good, the light of all that's true To the fringes gladly I walk unadorned With gods and their creations, with filth and disease Porcelina, she waits for me there With seashell hissing lullabies and whispers fathomed deep inside my own [Pre-Chorus] Hidden thoughts and alibis My secret thoughts come alive [Chorus] Without a care in this whole world Without a care in this whole world Without a care in this life It's what you take that makes it right [Bridge] And in my mind I'm everyone And in my mind I'm everyone In my mind I'm every one of you You make it right It's all alright You make it right [Refrain] Porcelina of the oceans blue, ah, oh Porcelina of the oceans blue [Instrumental Outro] [PART IV: Rocket] [Verse] Bleed in your own light Dream of your own life I miss me I miss everything I'll never be [Audience Applause]
